Sommario/riassunto

Littérateurs, historiens, penseurs sociaux, hagiographes ou détracteurs ont présenté, parfois créé peut-être le personnage de l’initiateur d’un monde nouveau, saint ou aventurier rapace, « restaurateur de l’esclavage » ou « rassembleur de la terre de Dieu », fondateur ou destructeur de la société moderne. Ainsi s’est-il établi un modèle d’action, positif ou négatif Et le mythe, né de l’histoire, a d’autant plus aisément eu prise sur elle qu’il a contribué à l’engendrer, qu’une vision mystique de sa vocation a pu guider Colomb lui-même, le « porte-Christ », dans sa grande entreprise. Il a pu être à la fois savant, mathématicien et illuminé.  Le but de ce recueil est de montrer, non le visage du personnage historique, mais celui que lui a donné l’imaginaire collectif.

Sommario/riassunto

Death educators, researchers, counselors, clergy, funeral-service professionals, and others will appreciate the book's theory- and research-based approach to the ways in which different cultural groups memorialize their dead.
